Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn’t permanently installed on a phone.

    What I’m saying is - even though it says “shut down”, it’s not doing a real shut down. Yes, you could fully let the battery run dry. But that takes 12 hours and you can’t do it once a day. Plus it ruins your battery’s capacity.

      It doesn’t seem like a hibernate though - it always has to reload the homescreen and doesn’t remember processes from before the reboot and sk on.

      What are you saying it does instead, if it’s not a real shut down? What is it about it that makes it not a real shutdown? As compared to a computer shutdown.
